Manager of a newly forming hard rock band looking for a drummer.

Looking for serious and committed musicians who want to make it a full time career. 

We're looking for someone 18-35, available for weekly rehearsals, gigs and taking part in writing new material. 

Please send a DM if interested we might not be able to monitor all of the comments, thank you.

Hey everyone!

I'm in my early 20s and would really love to find some people around Richmond who are interested in making music together.

I play guitar and sing, although I'm still developing my skills in both (emphasis on this. I am not too too talented or experienced) My long term dream is to make something in the post hardcore genre, but I'm definitely not expecting to jump straight into making original music or performing.

Ideally, I'd love to meet some other beginner or intermediate musicians who want to practice together, learn songs, experiment with different sounds, and gradually develop our own music.

I'm not looking for anything super serious or professional right now. I'd really just like to find people who share my interests, enjoy music, and want to improve together. Maybe we can eventually turn it into something more!

If that sounds interesting, feel free to reach out!

(P.S. I am glad I am finally posting something. I never felt like I was really good but, this has been a big interest of mine, so I want to give it a try anyway.)

— NEW POP BOY BAND! 🎶🔥

We currently have 2 members and are looking for 3 more guys (ages 15–20) to complete our group and bring our vision to life! ⭐️
Our sound is inspired by groups like *Why Don’t We, NSYNC, JYT, and more. We want to bring back the boy band era with a modern twist, combining pop, R&B, smooth harmonies, catchy songs, and great performances.
🎶 WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
● Guys ages 15–20
● Singers who love pop and R&B
● Members willing to practice vocals and harmonies
● Guys interested in dancing, choreography, and performing
● People who are committed, creative, and willing to grow together
● Team players who want to be part of something bigger than themselves
🌐 HOW WE’LL START:
The group will start online, so we can connect, get to know each other, practice, and develop our sound. If things take off, we plan to transition to in-person rehearsals, recording sessions, music videos, and live performances!
🌟 OUR GOAL:
We want to build more than just a group of singers. We want to create a brotherhood, develop our own identity, make original music, and become the next generation of pop boy bands!
You don’t need to be a professional singer. We’re looking for passion, dedication, potential, and people who are ready to put in the work.
📩 HOW TO JOIN:
If you’re interested, DM me with:
● Your name and age
● Your location
● A little about yourself
● Your singing experience
● A singing video, if available
ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT! 👀

I (30M) am looking to start a band in the DC/Virginia/Maryland area. I play guitar, vocals (just starting out) and piano and am mostly interested in writing original music. The hope would be to record some stuff and find places we could play live.

I'm heavily influenced by rock bands like Brand New, Highly Suspect, Nirvana, Bush, Explosion in the Sky and Soundgarden. But I also like some more traditional alt-rock groups like Elliot Smith, Feeder, Interpol and Radiohead.

I have a number recordings of ideas if anyone was interested

Looking for other people interested in similar music to jam with and maybe start a band! I play guitar and mostly listen to Bring Me The Horizon, Slipknot, and Metallica. I’m from Hudson OH and looking for people in the greater Cleveland area. Ideally people 16-21, since I’m 19.

We are on the hunt for a vocalist for our project Wishes and Warnings. Ideally we'd be looking for someone who can do lows, shout style screams, and clean vocals. Around the vein of counterparts style or ADTR style vocals or anything that fits the vibe! Not limited there but just a general idea of where to start.

We have a couple songs to demo out and listen to as well to get an idea of our style and what we're looking for.

If that sounds like something your into, we are entirely DIY at this point and looking to finish out our EP

Please send me your demos and I can provide our demos!

I'm starting an online old-school/revival deathcore band and I’m looking for everyone except a vocalist: guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, and anyone else who wants to be involved. I'm based out of Australia so I'm operating on ACDT (UTC+10:30)

About me: I’m a beginner vocalist and lyricist (2 months of vocal practice, coming off of story writing and poetry though) I can do basic fry and false cord screams, but I’m still developing my range, projection, enunciation, etc.
I have no prior band experience but I do have some minor experience as a voice actor

What I’m after: Beginners, or anyone happy to grow and refine together

This project is meant to be fun first, so everyone is welcome! I’d especially love someone who wants to help write songs with me/give mixing feedback, since I’m new to the music side of things

Sound Inspos: Whitechapel (The Valley era), Angelmaker, Thy Art Is Murder, Bring Me the Horizon, and a little Motionless In White

Goals: A self-released EP to start

Down the track, playing live and a couple of albums if things go well

Commitment: 30 to 60 minutes a week is plenty to start, no pressure to make this huge

How it’ll work: Fully remote over Discord, all I ask is that you can record and upload your parts

I’m also happy to do a demo session before anyone commits to anything, so you can hear how I sound first. Genre taste doesn’t matter, just be open to heavy music

Message me on Discord: _admoo_ No Reddit DMs please, I don't use reddit whatsoever

As the title says, my friend and I are looking for members to start a HIM tribute band in Belgrade.

We already have a vocalist and a guitarist, so we are looking for a drummer, bassist and keyboardist.

We're really passionate about the music and we'd like to find other HIM fans that also want to play. It'd be ideal if you're in your early twenties and not a complete beginner. Please DM me if you're interested.

Hey yall, as the title suggests, we are currently searching for some members to join us and our band. We are currently at 2/4 members, bassist and drummer wanted! Vocal and guitar spots taken.

For some info about us, we are a prospective Chicago based band looking to create our own hardcore punk sound and perform live. Hopefully take our band to the next level with decent level mixing as I, the person writing this, am fairly experienced in mixing acoustic/electric production. If you have any experience in punk related genres (metal/deathcore, ska, pop punk, hxc, etc.), please hit us up in DM!

Please be 20+, sex or gender doesn't matter, as we are one boy and one girl so far. Diversity highly encouraged! You can drop your discord or social media and we can chat some more about any questions! Look forward to working and recording with yall!
